Globally we need to halve the carbon emissions by 2050. Through the release of Greenhouse Gases (GHG), the industry also contributes significantly to climate change.Several reulations has been put in place to help recude CO2 emissions but the shipping industry is still faced by some challenges. Big Data is helping to cut fuel bills and CO2 emissions. Objective is to build a ship rating tool for ranking and rating ships on their emissions.
Carbon emissions are depleting the ozone layer. Globally, we need to half the carbon emissions by 2050. The Ship Emission Rating Index (SERI) helps ships to compare their emission rating with similar ships. SERI also helps to motivate ship owners to be the best they can be by striving to be on the leaderboard for being in the top class for environment friendly rated ships, demonstrated through their Ship Emission Rating. SERI will motivate ships to reduce their emissions as no ship would like to be at the bottom of the ratings. Ships with good Emission Ratings will have an advantage when seeking bank loans and insurance cover as banks and insurance companies will prefer to insure and lend environmental friendly ships that are highly rated and ranked.
Risk based, multi objective vehicle routing problem for hazardous materials: ...Valerio Cuneo
The paper analyses a practical case of study related to the distribution of fuels for the Total Erg Oil Company to the service stations located in the Province of Rome (Italy).
The problem is formulated as a capacitated vehicle routing problem with time windows, where several heuristic procedures have been tested, considering both static and dynamic travel times. With respect to the standard operational costs used typically, a multivariable objective function has been proposed which takes into account also a new risk index.
Use of GCxGC-TOFMS in litigious mixed condensate plumes: Environmental forens...Chemistry Matters Inc.
Authors: Court D. Sandau and Lisa N. Kates
Chemistry Matters Inc.
Abstract; Condensate is a complex mixture of light petroleum hydrocarbons that is primarily used to dilute heavy crude oil for transport through pipelines. Many heavy oils, especially bitumen from the oil sands in northern Alberta, use condensate to dilute the bitumen to allow the product to flow to refineries where the oil can be upgraded. This is where the term ‘Dilbit’ was derived. Condensate is valuable; it can be recycled and reused and is frequently transported through the North American pipeline network. Pipelines gather at pipeline terminals where there can be multiple sources and multiple suppliers of different types of condensates. When leaks occur at these terminals, it can be difficult to determine the exact source of the leak, especially if pipeline integrity seems intact. GCxGC-TOFMS is the ideal technique to examine mixed condensate plumes as it allows the comprehensive fingerprint of the condensate to be determined and simultaneously provides substantial data to evaluate weathering and plume movement. In addition, the amount of chemicals measured using GCxGC-TOFMS can allow source apportionment of multiple sources so that allocation of the cleanup responsibility can be made. This presentation will discuss the use of GCxGC-TOFMS in legal case studies involving mixed condensate plumes. Real scenarios of condensate plumes will be presented showing how GCxGC-TOFMS data clarified the results compared to conventional analysis. This presentation will also cover the hurdles of using a novel and unconventional technique for litigation proceedings.

The weakness of reservoir simulations is the lack of quantity and quality of the required input; their strength is the ability to vary one parameter at a time. Therefore, reservoir simulations are an appropriate tool to evaluate relative uncertainty but absolute forecasts can be misleading, leading to poor business decisions. As recovery processes increase in complexity, the impact of such decisions may have a major impact on the project viability. A responsible use of reservoir simulations is discussed, addressing both technical users and decision makers. The danger of creating a false confidence in forecasts and the value of simulating complex processes are demonstrated with examples. This is a call for the return of the reservoir engineer who is in control of the simulations and not controlled by them, and the decision maker who appreciates a black & white graph of a forecast with realistic uncertainties over a 3-D hologram in colour.
The Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) opened the Environmental and Emissions Research Facility in Bryan, Texas, in January 2010. The development of the facility resulted from competitive grant awards to TTI from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Houston Advanced Research Center (HARC), with additional funding provided by The Texas A&M University System and TTI. The Air Quality Program uses the facility as a part of emissions and fuel efficiency research. The $2.5 million facility is one of the largest drive-in environmental chambers in the country, and the only one based at a university. The EERF can be used to conduct
tests on vehicles as large as a full tractor-trailer or bus.

Masterclass Unmanned vessels - vice and virtue for shipping industry?Maurice Jansen
Technological developments relating to unmanned vessels and drones are rapidly progressing. Ship technology companies are already foresee unmanned vessels sailing the world oceans within the forthcoming 10 years. On a smaller scale, more and more start-up companies are experimenting with drone technology as a means to monitor and assess water quality and clean up port basins. In this Masterclass we give insights in what we can expect from the technological developments ahead, and seek answers to the most challenging questions: when can we see the first unmanned vessels entering our ports, what does this means from a legal point of view and to what extent does it require international and national laws and regulations to change?

Talking to the business users, business managers. stakeholders to understand the business question and how the results will impact the different employee roles is most important. Next is using only the relevant data to solve the business problem. After that, we should have good evaluation methods to ensure the analytical solution is sound. And lastly, but not least, show how the analytical results and models impact business in terms of its revenue, profitability, and operational efficiency.
This presentation will present topics such as "What is Anomaly Detection? What are the different types of Data that may be used? What are the popular techniques may be used to identify anomalies. What are the best practices in anomaly detection? What is the Value of Anomaly Detection?
Recommender systems are viewed as prediction problems in which the user profiles and their rated target items reflect the degree of the user's preference for that item. Recommender Systems should account for temporal effects, reflecting the dynamic, time-drifting nature of user-item interactions. Averages should be avoided as they lack context. Good recommendations will take context and product associations into account when making recommendations
Diabetes Risk Reduction App with mHealth GamificationCarol Hargreaves
The key challenges we found were that, the more overweight children are, the greater the risk of Diabetes.
Nearly 1 in every 3 American adults is obese & almost 2/3 are overweight. More, seriously, Obesity is continuing on the rise.
Recently, the US Surgeon General has declared Obesity in children & adolescents in the US – an EPIDEMIC. Adolescents are being diagnosed with type 2 Diabetes at an alarming rate! Some of the reasons for this trend is a lack of physical activity & increased consumption of fast foods that are high in calories & fat.
We hope that this Diabetes Risk Reduction App with mHealth Gamification will motivate people who are at high risk of obtaining Diabetes to use our App regularly, and thereby exercising more often and always eating healthy.

Relating outcomes of a chronic disease to individual patient characteristicsCarol Hargreaves
Several biostatistical techniques are available for relating the outcome of a chronic disease to individual patient characteristics.The stochastic process approach updates the information available at the time of initial presentation and makes it responsive to the individual clinical course.At any point in a patient’s history the most recently occupied state contains all of the information which is relevant to the patient’s future course. This is called the Markov Property.Mantel-Haenszel (MH) procedures proved quite useful, in estimating relative risks of death for the various states by using the strata defined by the time intervals.

Levelwise PageRank with Loop-Based Dead End Handling Strategy : SHORT REPORT ...Subhajit Sahu
Abstract — Levelwise PageRank is an alternative method of PageRank computation which decomposes the input graph into a directed acyclic block-graph of strongly connected components, and processes them in topological order, one level at a time. This enables calculation for ranks in a distributed fashion without per-iteration communication, unlike the standard method where all vertices are processed in each iteration. It however comes with a precondition of the absence of dead ends in the input graph. Here, the native non-distributed performance of Levelwise PageRank was compared against Monolithic PageRank on a CPU as well as a GPU. To ensure a fair comparison, Monolithic PageRank was also performed on a graph where vertices were split by components. Results indicate that Levelwise PageRank is about as fast as Monolithic PageRank on the CPU, but quite a bit slower on the GPU. Slowdown on the GPU is likely caused by a large submission of small workloads, and expected to be non-issue when the computation is performed on massive graphs.

3. Industry Problem:
Through the release of Greenhouse Gases (GHG), the
industry also contributes significantly to climate change
There is continued increase in international maritime
transport which may result in shipping being
responsible for 6% of the world’s GHG emissions by
2020 & 15% by 2050.
Globally, we need to half the carbon emissions by
2050.
Carbon emissions are depleting the ozone layer.
Exposure to toxic emissions from shipping is
reported to cause cardiovascular & respiratory
diseases

4. Shipping Industry Background Information - EEDI
Since July 2011, the Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) ,
measures theoretical CO2 emission performance of new
ships over 400 gross tonnes & is calculated from ship
design and engine performance data, where:
P is 75% of the rated installed shaft power,
SFC is the specific fuel consumption,
Cf is CO2 is emission rate based on fuel type,
DWT is the ship deadweight tonnage,
Vref is the vessel speed at design load.
5. Shipping Industry Background Information - SEEMP
From July 2011, the Ship Energy Efficiency Management
Plan (SEEMP) was mandatory for all ships of 400 gross
tonnage and above.
From 1 January 2013, all existing ships are required to
document their energy usage through the introduction of
a Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP) that
is linked to the ship’s broader management plan
6. Shipping Industry Background Information - EVDI
• RightShip’s (2011), Existing Vessel Design Index ,
the EVDI™ measures a ship’s CO2 emissions CO2
emissions per tonne nautical mile travelled based
on the characteristics of the ship, and, unlike the
EEDI, the EVDI™ can be applied to existing ships.
• The GHG Emissions Rating is a practical measure
derived from the EVDI™ that allows relative
comparison of a ship’s CO2 emissions to vessels
of a similar size and type.
7. Shipping Industry Background Information - ESI
The Environmental Shipping Index (ESI, 2011)
evaluates the amount of nitrogen oxide (NOX),
sulphur oxide (SOX) that is released by a ship and
includes a reporting scheme on the greenhouse
gas emission of the ship.
The ESI is a good indication of the environmental
performance of ocean going vessels and will
assist in identifying cleaner ships in a general
way.
The index is intended to be used by ports to
reward ships when they participate in the ESI and
will promote clean ships,
8. Shipping Industry Background Information - CSI
Clean Shipping Index (CSI, 2011) is a tool for
measuring the five areas of environmental impact
– CO2 emission, SOX emission, NOX emissions,
PM emissions, chemical products, water & waste
control.
Clean Shipping Index estimates how well a vessel
is doing in each area. The weighing together of
the score gives a hint of the overall performance.
Clean Shipping Index is a web-based tool which is
quick and easy to fill in for carriers – and to no
expense covers main types of vessels from all ages
9. Emission Reduction Measures Identified

10. Current Challenges faced by the Shipping Industry - ECA
From 2016, new threshold will also
apply to nitrous oxide emissions.
From 2015, ships operating in Emissions
Control Areas will be required to use fuels with
0.1% or less sulphur content (versus 1%
previously)

11. Big Data helps Shipping Lines Cut Fuel Bills and Emissions
The market of ships well suited for remote monitoring to analyze data
is about 30,000 out of 100,000 commercial class vessels globally.
These 30,000 vessels could create a $20 billion value in terms of reductions in fuel
consumption, downtime, maintenance expenses and environmental fines. That
number could go to $50 billion by 2030.
Maersk container line has reduced greenhouse emissions per container moved
nearly 40 percent since 2007 and is committed to a target reduction of 60
percent by 2020.
Maersk gives much of the credit for fuel and emissions reductions to its Global
Voyage Centre, which monitors fleet operations round the clock from a situation
room in Mumbai."The team is watching to ensure that the vessels keep to their
optimum voyage speed.

12. Big Data helps Shipping Lines Cut Fuel Bills and Emissions
At a time when environmental concerns and energy prices remain high,
savings on fuel can make a significant improvement to margins.
Accurate information on fuel consumption and routes can mean the
difference between winning a customer and letting them go to a
competitor.
Increasing levels of automation and onshore vessel control are
presenting opportunities to further reduce operational expenditure.
TransMetrics brings big data to the transport and logistics industry to
improve capacity optimization, reduce costs and reduce CO2 emission.
13. Goal: Build a Ship Rating Tool for Ranking & Rating Ships
on their Emissions Some ships are more emission
friendly than others….what is
the impact of different factors
in their contribution to how
‘green’ a ship is???
Emissions do not divide into ships equally and considerations such
a ship size, fuel type, engine performance as well as maritime
technology mean that some ships are more efficient than others
14. Comparison of Emission Reduction Measures / Tools
EEDI EVDI™
Measures theoretical CO2
emission performance of
new ships over 400 gross
tonnes & is calculated
from ship design and
engine performance data
The EVDI™ is similar to
the EEDI but can be
applied to existing ships.
Derived from the EVDI™ that
allows relative comparison of a
ship’s CO2 emissions to vessels of
a similar size and type.
GHG Emissions Rating
ESI
Gives a numerical
representation of the
environmental
performance of ships and
is a function of NOX ,SOX,
CO2, PM, chemicals
CSI
Gives a rating to ships &
shipping companies based on
their environmental
performance – CO2, SOX,
PM2.5,PM10,NOX,Ballast Water,
Bilge Water, Chemicals
(antifouling, lubricants)
Uses fuel type, vessel type, TEU, CO2, SOX,
engine type, PM2.5, PM10, NOX, time spent in
port, vessel weight, scrubber, auxillary engine
usage at berth, the way they operate their
ship, country, owner, classification society,
weather, speed, propeller polishing, autopilot,
hull coatings, lubricants, propeller upgrade,
main engine tuning, water flow optimization,

SERI
15. Predictive Model for Determining Ship Emission Rating Index
Neural network/Logistic
regression models are used to
predict the ship emission rating
Container database has a
list of green ships that will
be used
16. Dynamically Measuring “Ship Emission Rating Index (SERI)”…..
The analytical approach is suitable as it will allow us to:
Identify the key factors that contribute to the SERI for each ship type
Identify which of the key factors have a positive effect and which factors have a negative effect for
each ship type
Determine the size and impact of each factor on the SERI for each ship type
Assess the impact of SOx, NOx, CO2, PM2.5, PM10 on SERI
